Their coralites grow in long separated valleys producing a meandering body form. Most are shades of brown, green, or blue. Diet: Some have zooxanthellae and others are entirely heterotrophic.    Care Level:  easy Natural History: The Caryophylliids all produce a similar wavy skeleton with long plush polyps, usually extended day and night. Most species have tentacles with stinging nematocysts that are capable of damaging other corals. Low to moderate light allows most species to fully expand their fleshy tentacles. Most prefer low to moderate water flow.
